So I am trying to figure out how the girls have gotten so big so fast. They are already three years old. I miss the days of two huge toothless smiles staring back at me. I love every stage that we have come to but I miss the ones that have gone by terribly. So here Chris and I are with two very sassy and loving girls. Devan was our first born and does not have a very strong will to be independent. She loves to cuddle and will share her things. She is such a sweetie. She may be older by a whole minute but she has not managed to accomplish any major milestones before her, one minute younger sister. I am sure this will get to her someday but it would be pretty silly. Devan likes to cling herself to Chris the moment he comes through the door. She is a big daddy's girl. Devan likes to play in her room when she See's her sister preoccupied, She likes her alone time. Ryleigh our second little bundle of joy, is full of emotions, she is either smiling or crying. She is very sensitive but a very determined little girl. She likes to be the first at everything even if it is something as little as brushing her teeth first everyday. Ryleigh loves her daddy too but makes him work a little harder for it. She wont just cuddle with him it takes a few minutes of whatever Ryleigh wants and then she will give up hugs and kisses. I think it is a control thing, she really likes to be in control. Ryleigh would rather have her sissy by her side when playing. She is not one to go off on her own. You will rarely ever see her with out her yellow and pink silky blankies. She had one from birth and we made a special trip to the store to get a new one so we could alternate them and actually get them washed once in a while. Our plan did not work, she now has both of them where ever she goes. To see the glass half full rather then empty, if we wash them in shifts it does make washing blankie easier. I guess you have to pick you battles with three year old's I am so happy to see them grow up. I get to stay home with the girls for now until I finish school for medical assisting. I am thankful that Chris works really hard so I can be home with them. This is time you can't buy back and I can't imagine missing these years, even when it gets tough at times. I think I have heard a million times by random people saying how much easier they must be now compared to being babies. They couldn't be more wrong, the girls were easy babies they never cried and were always happy. They let me sleep as well which was a major plus! it is no easy task trying to juggle the needs of more than one child, the old they get the harder this gets.
